Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get emergency dental care?
Your first step in getting emergency dental care is to call our office directly and let someone on our staff assist you. If you’re experiencing a life-threatening emergency, please call 911 immediately.
Most hospital emergency rooms, mobile ERs, and urgent care clinics aren’t equipped to handle dental emergencies, and thus if you go there, you are unlikely to be treated.
In most cases, we can provide you with a same-day appointment. We are also proud to offer Saturday appointments.
If you are experiencing a dental emergency, please call us as soon as possible for assistance. Please note that dental emergencies can often be an indication of bigger dental problems, and an important sign that it’s time to get back into the habit of regularly visiting Dr. Ruiz. These appointments can help prevent future dental emergencies, saving you time, money, and your natural teeth!
How much does a dental check-up & cleaning cost in Studio City?
The cost of a dental check-up and cleaning can vary depending on geography and other factors such as the current condition of your oral health.
Every check-up and cleaning should begin with a patient health history and discussion of any patient concerns. It should also include a thorough examination by Dr. Ruiz, a professional cleaning, X-rays, and an oral cancer screening.
The average cost in markets across the United States is between $200 and $350. If you have dental insurance, the fees for your check-up and cleaning are negotiated with us by your insurer.

Dr. Jose-Luis Ruiz has earned a reputation for excellence in both cosmetic and general dentistry, including treating highly visible patients in the entertainment industry.
What level of education is required to be a dentist?
Here in the United States, all dentists must earn either a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) or a Doctor of Dental Sciences (DDS) degree from one of the nation’s 67 accredited dental schools.
Acceptance into dental school requires a bachelor's degree (and typically very high grades) in a major that is heavy in math and science.
Dental school is an additional three years with a combination of classroom and hands-on learning.
Furthermore, some dentists choose to continue their education by earning one of twelve specializations recognized by The American Dental Association (ADA). These require an additional three or more years of dental school training.
Following graduation, all dentists are required to complete a certain number of continuing education hours to maintain their dental license.
